Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/List of experiments from Lilo & Stitch (3rd nomination)


 * The following discussion is an archived debate of the proposed deletion of the article below. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made on the appropriate discussion page (such as the article's talk page or in a deletion review).  No further edits should be made to this page.

The result was   no consensus. There is clear consensus that the article should not be deleted, but there is no agreement about whether this list should be merged to another one. Complicating things is a merge opinion that cites with favor an editor who wants to keep the lists separate, and one who wants to merge them. Discussions on a possible merge can of course continue on the talk page. Xymmax So let it be written   So let it be done  15:26, 8 January 2010 (UTC)

List of experiments from Lilo & Stitch
AfDs for this article: 
 * – ( View AfD View log  •  )

The article is simply a long list of creatures from the Lilo & Stitch franchise, with little encyclopedic value or notability; mainly fancruft, and violates WP:NOT. Additional problems besides that of notability includes a long-standing lack of sources as well as a primarily in-universe writing style. KaySL (talk) 14:57, 25 December 2009 (UTC)

 * Keep: Nothing much has changed from the last AFD, so I'll just restate my Keep last time:
 * I'll more or less repeat what I said two years ago: The television series episode plots center specifically around this list of experiments, so removing the page will remove a large chunk of information pertaining to the show. The list is different than the List of Lilo & Stitch: The Series episodes as the episode list contains airdates and shorter experiment appearance lists. As for the claim of fancruft, I have strived long and hard to specifically keep it free of speculative list cruft (though I admit that I'm getting rather tired of doing so). Unfortunately, Disney made maintaining the list extremely difficult when they decided it would be fun to list the name of every experiment at the end of the last movie (Leroy & Stitch).  So the names are available, but unless Disney produces more cartoons, the descriptions will have to remain blank as no information is available.  All the information is from the shows or movies and speculative descriptions are removed almost immediately. -- Gogo Dodo (talk) 05:50, 8 May 2008 (UTC)

 * Comment: shouldn't the content from this article be migrated and merged with the episode list then, if this article is so integral to the episodes? Granted, it wouldn't be a quick task, but as it stands, the actual content-to-length ratio is very low. KaySL (talk) 14:11, 26 December 2009 (UTC)


 * Comment: I don't agree with merging the list with either List of Lilo & Stitch characters or List of Lilo & Stitch episodes. Several experiments appear in multiple episodes (though admittedly to differing degrees).  Determining how to perform merge will be difficult and there would be a net loss of information. -- Gogo Dodo (talk) 06:21, 6 January 2010 (UTC)


 * I would vote for merging it into the List of Lilo & Stitch characters, perhaps only the most relevant characters (Sparky, Angel, Reuben and Leroy). -- LoЯd  ۞pεth  06:21, 28 December 2009 (UTC)
